Does God Believe in You More Than You Do?

On Sundays, I write on Spirituality, Faith and Ethics.  Click here to read why.

A while back, I asked some friends this question: “Why is it that most people fail to take bold action to achieve their dreams?”  I wrote about their responses in the post entitled, 9 Reasons Why You’ll Never Achieve Your Dreams.

A few of the answers I received had to do with faith…faith in God, yes…but also faith in ourselves.  In fact one person put it this way in their response: 

Many times, courage and faith are the missing ingredients.

So let me ask you – If you’re not achieving the success you had hoped to achieve in your life by now, are courage and faith missing ingredients in your life?

Do you struggle with mustering up the courage you need to take bold action in your life?  Do you lack faith in yourself and a belief that you can be successful in whatever you set out to do?

If so, I’d encourage you to pray and ask God to change your stinkin’ thinkin’.  He created you.  He loves you.  He believes in you and has a purpose and plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11).

Oh, and what if you don’t believe in God?  That’s OK.  He still believes in you.
